Look at the image below where I labeled the sides
To solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = 4
b = 6
c = unknown
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
simplify
16 + 36 =
52 =
To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...
√52 = x
^^^Unsimplified radical
2√13
^^^Simplified radical
7.21
^^^Rounded to hundedths
Hope this helped!
